Musical Surroundings Nova II - Phono Preamp The unit works on both wall power and battery power. Michael Yee hand assembles in California and are highly regards Phono Preamps The Nova serries is their larger and premium end of their lineup . There are two batteries inside, one for each channel. The unit will charge from a wall wart and when ready to listen you hit the selector switch for where you want to draw power from. This allows for isolated power and ultra low noise for delicate phono amplification. Batteries will last for many years. While installing batteries, the chassis was lined with vibration dampening material to help absorb vibration energy transfer. MSRP of new model is $2,000

A gently used Nova II phono preamp for MM/MC cartridges with the optional linear power supply. The units are in excellent working and physical condition, they were purchased new in October 2023. Ive switched to a tube based phono pre so this needs a new home. Includes the original boxes, manual, power cord, and connection wire. Both pieces will be boxed together in another box for safe shipping.

Musical Surroundings Linear Charging Power Supply purchased in 2023, was only tested briefly, in perfect condition. Includes original box, manual and accessories. Michael Yee’s continued research into power supply designs has resulted in our Linear Power Supply (LPS). It was originally designed as a “no holds barred” power supply for charging the battery packs of our flagship Super Nova III phono stage. It is a “Classic Analog Power Supply” that uses a 50/60 Hz transformer, large storage capacitors, and low noise linear Voltage Regulators, all designed to achieve the goal of reducing noise for the best sound from an Audiophile Turntable System. When used to power the Phonomena 2, Phonomena 2+, and Nova III phono stages, the LPS will dramatically improve their sound by providing cleaner power and eliminating the noise from a Digital Switching Power Supply. This switching noise is higher in frequency than the audio signals and can modulate the actual audio signal. The Power Supply Voltages may also have the switching noise on them. A Digital Power Supply also radiates via Magnetic Field Emissions that can be transmitted to other components in the Audio System. The LPS uses a Tamura Transformer to convert the line voltage to a usable voltage for the Musical Surroundings Solid State Preamps. Tamura Transformers are very well known for use in Tube Amplifiers, Tube Power Supplies and other audio circuits. Large filter capacitors and rectifiers are part of a noise reduction circuit before Ultra Low Noise, Low Dropout, Precision Voltage Regulators (Linear Technologies LT1965, LT3015). A Single Supply Connection (+22.5V) is supplied for Phonomena II, Phonomena II+, and Nova III. A multi-pin Split Supply Connection (+/-11.25V) is supplied for the Super Nova III and future designs.

Musical Surroundings Nova III Phono Stage WITH Linear Power Supply. Comes with all original packaging, manuals plus an Oyaide-jack terminated power cord. This is a very nice phono stage, Ive used it for 2-1/2 years with Ortofon M2 (MM), Cadenza Black and Benz Micro Glider SL (MC) cartridges. Reconfiguring my HiFi setup, dont want my family to have to figure out what to do with it when Im gone (no plans, but you never know). Not a fan of returns. This works as new, if, within 24 hours of delivery you decide NOT to keep it, message me and well discuss it. Its a great deal. On Jul-19-23 at 17:41:35 PDT, seller added the following information: Ghent audio made the power cable with Oyaide plugs.

Musical Surroundings Nova Phonomena phono stage. The unit is in excellent cosmetic condition and functions as intended. It is quite good sounding and can be used with wall power or optionally as a battery powered unit completely disconnected from the grid. If you look at the picture of the rear of the unit you can see it has a number of settings for gain and impedance. The settings are for each channel separately and are easy to adjust via dip switches that are completely accessible. There is an LED on the front of the unit that flashes red when the batteries are charging, stable red when they are fully charged and green when the unit is in battery mode. There is a switch on the front to go from battery to wall power. The unit can be used in charging mode as well as when it is fully charged. When used the first time after the batteries have been disconnected, the unit will take a while to charge. During that initial charge the amplification may not be functional. The first time I did this I thought it didnt work but read the manual. I recently replaced the batteries (2) which are not particularly inexpensive, but these have very few hours on them. The unit comes with factory packing and owners manual and is double boxed for safe shipping. Buyer pays shipping via UPS ground. Payment is via Ebay on line.
